When an artist’s idea strikes, it doesn’t matter what time or place. As long as he/she has a medium on-hand and an inspiration in mind, a work of art is sure to be on its way.

Like for Brazilian artist Julio Cesar, who is a freelance illustrator from Fortaleza. Cesar creates digital illustrations from photos of random people. His works are so colorful and vibrant they look like they are ready to come to life. Cesar’s main influences are the 80’s / 90’s cartoons.
